When you desire something, anything, that isn’t yours or isn’t from God, you are breaking God’s command. You’re coveting, and this can be so dangerous. Because, quite often, coveting leads to the breaking of another one of God’s commands. Today, Pastor John will explain covetousness, this inward attitude of the heart, and challenge you instead to look to God and find contentment. He’s promised to provide all you need. Turn to Him for everything. Only He can satisfy your soul.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 as he begins his message The Desire to Acquire.

There are so many opinions and voices in the world today. With the news, social media, and politicians spouting things, it’s hard even to know what is true.  Lies flow from the tongue without even a thought. Today, Pastor John will challenge you to examine your own words and determine to speak only what is true. Lies can include gossip and embellishment, white lies and malicious lies, lies out of fear, and lies because it’s easy.  God wants you to speak the truth. And God wants you to determine truth from His word.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 for his message The Sanctity of Truth.

In our world today, stealing is becoming commonplace, and people often turn a blind eye to it. Yet, most of us have felt the sting of this violation at some point, maybe even frequently in our lives.  Today, Pastor John will describe the various ways that people steal from others. It can come from a place of covetousness - you want something you don’t have. But it can also come from laziness and apathy. But God declares all of it, taking or keeping what doesn’t belong to you is wrong.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 for his message The Lunacy of Larceny.

Most people don’t just wake up one morning and decide to commit adultery. Instead, it’s a subtle, slow process of falling away into sin. Even today, you may be lusting after someone, entertaining ideas with others, engaging in behaviors that just aren’t right, or you may even be in a sinful relationship. Pastor John will encourage you today to turn from that sin, confess it to God, and seek His forgiveness. You’ve sinned against others, and you’ve sinned against God.  But God is loving and full of mercy. He’ll forgive you!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 as he continues his message The Sanctity of Marriage.

We live in a culture that has rejected God and His word, especially regarding sexual sin. Pornography, adultery, and sexual expression are rampant in the world. Yet, sexual immorality can completely ruin a soul, a marriage, a family, and a society. Today, Pastor John will explain that marriage and sex within marriage is God’s gift. God designed marriage between man and woman at creation and not only allowed sex within marriage but encouraged it to build intimacy and love between the two.

We see in our world today the devaluing of human life.  The rates of murder, suicide, genocide, and feticide are unbelievably high in our world today. People don’t care as much about human life because many people have forgotten God. Pastor John will explain today, God commands mankind not to commit murder, primarily because we have forgotten God. You’re destroying God’s creation when you murder. We’re all made in His image. No matter who you are, you’re made in God’s image. So all human life is precious!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 verse 13 as he continues his message The Sanctity of Human Life.

One million babies are murdered in their mother’s wombs every year in the United States. How tragic. Our culture today not only tolerates but celebrates and promotes the murder of babies more now than ever before. Today, Pastor John will help you understand the cultural issue of abortion and how it directly violates and destroys God’s beautiful creation through murder. No matter how people try to dismiss it, a fetus is a human life. And God has commanded man not to murder!

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 13 as he begins his message The Sanctity of Human Life.

After God commands His people to love, respect, and worship Him only, He begins to give commands to love, honor, and respect other people. And as Pastor John teaches today, this starts with the family. God commands us all to honor our father and mother. Esteem them. Respect them. Obey them. And yes, even forgive them. And parents - you’re to disciple and teach your kids, love and protect them and raise them to be kind and loving as they learn to know and love God.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 as he continues his message Honor Your Parents.

The definition of a family today is very loose and actually undefined. Yet, God was very deliberate in how He created and ordered the family.  But, as Pastor John teaches today, our culture has little regard for family and doesn’t treasure it for the gift that it is. Faithful parents build strong families. And strong families strengthen and help our culture. It’s important to have a right view of family and learn to respect and honor those in your family, especially your parents, as God commands.

Now, let’s join Pastor John in the book of Exodus chapter 20 as he begins his message Honor Your Parents.

In our world today, there’s a constant rush and busyness that fills our lives, which can often leave you feeling weary and burdened. Today, Pastor John will encourage you to remember that the Lord Jesus is your rest. He is your sabbath. God gave His people the gift of a day to rest and be restored. And it’s essential to take a day to be with Jesus, to remember who He is, and to find your strength again in Him to prepare you for the week ahead. It’s not a day to simply obey rules but to renew your soul.
